I remember @Grinders for Life saying they might adjust price for people who bought all three sizes. A bundle price, so to speak.
I also got a partial refund and bought all three sizes.

Those of you who got the credit - did you also buy the full set?

Thanks @Grinders for Life for keeping you word!
I am waiting with baited breath for mine to arrive... slowly but surely it is making its way thru the postal system. Hopefully I will see it before the end of the week.

I bought the full set and just got a partial refund so was thinking the same but their bundle offer is only 15CAD cheaper and the refund was significantly more than that.

I can only assume GfL are being extra generous to the early birds maybe as a thank you or to make up for the delays caused by the anodizing.

Either way, I'm looking forward to my brilliant grinder and impressed by the brilliant customer service from @Grinders for Life

They did mention a possible credit later after they set up bundle pricing, or I thought I remember that being said....

It brought the cost to about $110 with shipping, not too shabby!

But still no shipping notification....

The pre-order bunle price was $100 CAD/$75 US w/o shipping. Possibly they extended this to all who have ordered & have had the delayed ship because of the anodizing problem. I'm sure once they are on an even keel that the price will be the $165 CAD. This was extremely generous of GFL & reflects their goodwill. Kudos to them!

Its not a cheap grinder, but I've seen pricier:

ELITE SERIES - Large 4pc Grinder - 24 Karat Gold Plated with Papers Holder $1500 (USD)

Well, there are people who are rich enough to have everything they want so this is a great a gift for the person who does have everything -- if you can afford to gift it. :p

The $100 CAD/$75 USD price was never for the bundle, but just the grinder with one plate of your choice.

I got a generous partial refund as well on my order. Like others, assuming it's GFL doing it as an apology for the anodizing delays.

Can't wait for the grinders to show up in my mailbox!

Email Update:

The following note has been added to your order:

Your Brilliant Cut Grinder is in transit and will be arriving very soon. Thank you for your patience.

We have decided to give you a 25% discount on your grinder purchase. The function and fit of this batch of grinders is perfect, but the anodized finish on some of the grinders parts may have slight flaws. Also, we took too long to get you your purchase so, we feel that with all these problems the least we could do is offer a discount. We also feel that we should reward you for being an early adopter. We would be nowhere without you. We are extremely grateful for your support and patience.

In addition to that, we’ll be running a promotion on the FC Forum. If you participate in our promotion and write a review comparing your current favorite grinder’s performance against the Brilliant Cut Grinder’s, we’ll refund you an additional 25%. That will be a total discount of 50% off your purchase amount. We’ll send you more details about this promotion soon.

Best regards,
GFL Team

And you had better win that lottery soon while the pound is greater than the dollar. After a Brexit deal, who knows. :uhoh:

Next tickets a winner, I'm sure of it. :\

"in advance" -- I meant swap out for it. But since you're so sure you're gonna win, hey, why not in advance. :D I know you're gonna forget me & disappear if you do win. :(


Its all gonna be fine, I'm sure of it :uhoh:
I don't know, didn't it start at 36 billion & May managed to negotiate it up to 90 billion. :o

Hey everyone,


First of all, we want to say sorry for the delay in shipping. We ran into a few setbacks during production. The anodizer took a lot longer than we thought and screwed up a bunch of grinders, which was very upsetting to say the least. It really sucks when the parts are perfect going into the last step and then something goes sideways. We had to make a bunch of replacement grinders and parts before shipping them out.


The last thing we wanted to do is alienate you guys, because you all are the most important customers we'll ever have. We want to make things right, so we're giving discounts to all the early adopters. We will also be running a promotion where you can earn an even bigger discount or even get your grinder for free. All you need to do is write a review comparing your old favorite grinder to your new Brilliant Cut Grinder. We'll reveal more details soon.


Unfortunately, there were some issues with some of the grinders we sent out. All the grinders we sent out have perfect fit and function, but some of them have cosmetic defects due to the anodizer. We decided to ship them out because we felt that you had waited too long already. We hope you understand. We are giving different discounts based on the defects. These recent refunds also included the bundle pricing refund that we promised earlier.



The Emerald, Sky Blue, Onyx, Pink, and Silver grinders were good. We gave 25% off just for the delay and for being an early adopter.


The Sapphire grinders have a color matching issue. The bottom is slightly less saturated. We gave a 50% discount for these orders.


The Hematite grinders were dyed too dark. Otherwise, they’re pretty nice. We gave 50% off.


The Gold grinders have some slight anodizing defects. We gave 50% off.


All of the problems we faced will be corrected in the next batch.


If you got 25% off and participate in the promotion by reviewing the grinder and comparing it to your last grinder, we’ll give you an additional 25% off the original price. A total of 50% off.


If you got 50% off your grinder and participate in the promotion, we’ll refund the original purchase price.


We'll reveal more details soon about the promotion.


We’ll get through this and the next batch will be a lot better. We are continually improving the production process and we’ll hit the mark no matter what it takes.

Don't get us wrong though, these grinders are still pretty nice.

Thanks so much for the update @Grinders for Life ! Your partial refunds due to time delays and marginal anodizing differences were a really nice thing to do for your customers. I know it makes me want to support you more in the future when I need a product you manufacture.

The pictures look fantastic. I can't wait to have an emerald BCG in my hands.
Thanks for all the hard work!

Thanks for the support Ramahs. Your grinder is on the way. All the other grinders destined for the original beta testers were shipped out as well.

I guess a stainless version is already in the pipeline of - vaguely - planned projects. But I'm also thinking a bigger (AL) version will come first.
At least I'd do so.

The larger 2.7"(68.5mm) diameter 3-piece 7075 aluminium grinder is in the pipeline and so is a 2.2"(56mm) diameter 4-piece 7075 aluminium grinder. They both require a bit more work, but we'll start releasing pictures in the coming months. When we're ready, we'll send a few 2.7" diameter beta grinders out. That grinder is probably next.
